LangFreQ is all about providing a service to a need.

The general purpose and reason for this service is that people who are studying a language are often searching for the top words.

If I were to study the top 100 words, I'd be much farther ahead than say someone who studied 100 random words, because of the frequency in which the words are used in every day life.

The data is indexed based off of twitter data. Basically, I scan data as it comes from twitter and then record it. I then tally that data up and produce the results you see.

Zyaga is the sole provider of all the content and functionality that this website brings to you. His reason for creating this website was because he was(and still is) studying Japanese and had a hard time finding out which words were the most common. This website is the result of that infatuation.

Well, that is a very good question . . .

. . . and for you I have a very good answer . . .

All other languages(on this site) are broken down via spaces between words, so it makes it relatively easy for me to parse out data and figure out what is a word and what isn't.

With Japanese, that just isn't possible.

You'd have to write an entire program that breaks down the Japanese grammar itself. So instead of doing that I figured I'd just do Kanji. Now, all I do is parse through character by character and check what is a word based on my dictionary of 1945 most common Kanji.
